<b>2023 Selah Award Finalist in First Novel</b><br />
<br />
<b>World War III has erupted on American soil. Seventeen-year-old Jadzia’s life
will never be the same again.</b><br />
<br />
As a mandatory draft takes effect, Jadzia finds herself on the front lines of
the war, torn apart from her family. But when her best friend is killed, Jadzia
is desperate to find her way back to them. She abandons her platoon and sets
out on her own.<br />
<br />
Jadzia must navigate a dangerous cross-country journey, facing betrayal,
violence, and the constant threat of death. Along the way, she meets Ryker–the son
of a faith leader whose places of worship have been attacked. Despite the
chaos, Jadzia finds refuge and friendship among Ryker’s unlikely group of
individuals … even though their faith is a little old-fashioned. And Ryker's
insistence on helping her doesn't make it easier for Jadzia to resist her
growing feelings toward him.<br />
<br />
But the military is determined to capture Jadzia and all outlaws. When survival
seems impossible, will sacrifice be their only route to freedom?<br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">REVIEW</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">I've been looking for a good dystopian to sink into, and boy, did this fit the bill! Heather Kreke effortlessly weaves an immersive story of what could happen if a religious war broke out in the US in the future. And when I tell you that it was immersive, buddy I literally lost track of time reading this and COULD NOT put it down! I may have even been a few minutes late to a meeting because I was finishing the last few pages. Sorry, not sorry!</p><p class="MsoNormal">The characters had great development and you really want to know what is going to happen to them next. I really hope that there is a sequel because I'm dying to know what happens next! Even though the end gave some closure, there is a little bit of a cliff hanger that leaves plenty of room to continue the story. </p><p class="MsoNormal">What surprised me about the story were the subtle Christian notes that were woven in. They were done with a deft hand and very purposely added so they helped move the story along. I would not call this a "Christian" fiction book because that is not the main focus of the story, but I really appreciate those touches. All in all, this is a great young adult book that is enjoyable for adults as well. This is one of my new favorites for sure!</p>

a thrill ride that takes readers from the hallowed halls of Cambridge to the
grimy depths of the Moscow underworld, from 1960s London to the Eastern Front
during the Second World War.</span></b></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk132277047;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
Summer 1961: The brutal Cold War between East and West is becoming ever more
perilous. Two young prodigies from either side of the Iron Curtain, Yulia and
Michael, meet at a chess tournament in London. They don't know it, but they’re
about to compete in the deadliest game ever played. Shadowing them is Greta, a
ruthless Lithuanian resistance fighter who is hunting down some of the most
dangerous men in the world. Men who are also on the radar of Vassily, perhaps
the USSR's greatest spymaster. A man of cunning and influence, Vassily is
Yulia's minder during her visit to the West, but even he could not foresee the
consequences of her meeting Michael. When the world is accelerating towards an
inevitable and catastrophic conflict, what can just four people do to prevent
it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Hidden Justice</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Saved from a brutal childhood and adopted into a wealthy, loving family of international spies, Justice Parish trained her whole life to rescue others. But when her latest mission hits a snag, she needs a new cover fast. Unfortunately, her best solution jeopardizes a good man. A man she can’t help but admire…in more ways than one.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After a loss too big to bear, Sandesh Ross left Special forces and dedicated his life to founding a humanitarian group in the Middle East. Helping others isn’t cheap, so when the wealthy and smoldering Justice Parish offers to fund his charity––as long as she’s put in charge of PR––he barely hesitates. What he doesn’t know about his sexy, new benefactor could save his company while endangering not only his heart but his life.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">#1 Amazon bestselling author. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Armed with a razor-sharp wit and a rolled-up MFA in Creative Writing, Diana Muñoz Stewart cartwheel-kicked her way into publishing with her fiery Black Ops Confidential series. Washington Independent Review of Books called the series’ award-winning debut, “original, impressive” a “rollicking good ride” and “high-octane.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Of her writing Publishers Weekly declared, “Stewart plays adeptly with the reader’s emotions” and noted that in her series, “Stewart’s talent shines.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Of her unflinching openness in taking on today’s relevant topics, Booklist said, “Munoz-Stewart discusses such sensitive topics as human trafficking, sexual violence, and sexism…while the diverse …Parish family and their mission to protect women everywhere give these topics…hope…” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kirkus Book Reviews said her romantic suspense series, along with having, “Sizzling physical encounters” also “enables an emphasis on recovery and power.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Munoz Stewart’s work has been a BookPage Top 15 Romance of 2018, a Night Owl Top Pick, A BookPage Top Pick, and an Amazon Book of the Month. A 2014 Pages From The Heart Winner, 2015 Golden Heart® Finalist, 2016 Daphne du Maurier Finalist, and a 2016 Gateway to the Best Winner, Diana Munoz Stewart is a member of Romance Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and Sisters in Crime. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Diana lives in an often chaotic and always welcoming home that—depending on the day—can hold husband, kids, extended family, friends, and a canine or two. A believer in the power of words to heal, connect, and distract from chores, Diana blogs regularly on topics near and dear to her heart, including spotlight pieces on strong women from around the world. When not writing, Diana can be found kayaking, doing sprints up her long driveway—harder than it sounds–attempting yoga on her deck, or hiking with the man who’s had her heart since they were teens.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Diana is represented by the wonderful Michelle Grajkowski of Three Seas Literary Agency.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">MONSTER. The
word evokes images of fairy tales and horror. But once, in 1850 Philadelphia,
it was actually the term commonly used in physician’s case notes for the
victims of fire.<br />
<br />
Conflagrations were common in this period—clothing, especially women’s lace,
was highly flammable. Once the flesh was destroyed, there was no cure. These
unfortunate souls lived out their lives as MONSTERS, secluded away by family.
Once burned flesh gives way to contractures, disfigurements to rival even Bram
Stoker’s imagination were born. And the hearts of the people inside the shell
perished.<br />
<br />
Lorelei is one such MONSTER. Born to a wealthy family, disfigured by fire, she
fake’s her own death, leaving the world she knows behind—because in her
mind…freedom, even if it is a workhouse, is preferable than the life of a
shut-in, a burden on her family's name.<br />
<br />
1850’s Philadelphia is an epi-center of medicine. Rival medical schools search
in desperation for bodies—cadavers to teach the art and science of anatomy to
their medical students. Corpses become so rare, a new profession evolves.
Resurrection Men, or body snatchers, dig up the graves of the newly decreased
for high pay.<br />
<br />
Rory Henry is one of the Resurrection Men. A Scots-Irish Immigrant, he has
fought his way off the streets, and into medical school by whatever means
necessary. He is not above digging up corpses—he cuts them by day, and searches
them out by night.<br />
<br />
These two lives intersect in an explosion of personality-Rory is designated as
Lorelei’s surgeon. Entrusted with performing the new operation called, The
Mutter Flap. Once he sees her face, will the unrequited love die, or ignite?<br />
<br />
People are disappearing. Someone has discovered that murder is far more
lucrative than grave robbing. And many of the bodies are from Lorelei’s
workhouse. Will she be next?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk131153413;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Meet Tama, an adept winter mage of
Khione, a beautiful, dangerous land. Bloodthirsty monsters roam the frozen
wilderness, and the unforgiving elements are a constant. Tama and her
friends—Kachina and Masou—are on the cusp of completing their education at the
temple where they have trained for the past four years. They need only to do
one more thing: earn the Goddess Tira’s final anointing. But to do that, they
must fight through hordes of corrupted creatures and endure the perplexing
obstacles within Mount Orodani.<br />
<br />
The road before them is long and bloody, and Tira’s evil sister, Malsumi, won’t
stop sending her minions until she is strong enough to break free of her
prison. Tama fights valiantly to defend herself and her people from these
twisted monsters. But she will soon discover the real threat is much closer
than she initially thought…<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Review</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">TEMPLE OF ICE is definitely not what I expected it to be. Cura weaves this magical world together with a culture that feels almost Inuit. From the icy landscape to the religion of gods represented on totem poles in tribal areas, you'll want a cup of hot cocoa to sip on while you read this one. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">The story and character development was insanely good! I'm someone who typically sees most plot twists a mile away, but TEMPLE OF ICE kept me guessing. The story and wanting to know what happened next kept me from being able to put the book down until I finished it - in one evening. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The only part of the book that was confusing, and what surprised me the most about it, was that the tone really seemed to develop with the story. At the beginning, the tone made the story feel very young adult genre and almost middle grade. I think it is more of a new adult genre based on the content and some of the scenes, but it is not so much that it is inappropriate for older young adult readers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Title: </b><b><i>Control</i></b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Author: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Melissa Cassera </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Genre: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">YA Paranormal Romance</span></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2><b>4-Star Review:</b></h2><div>Have you ever just <i>had</i> to read a book because the cover and title grabbed you and would not let go? Well, that is what happened to me with <i>Control</i>. When I started reading, all I knew about it was that it was in the young adult genre and let the rest be a surprise - and what a great surprise it was!</div><div><br /></div><div>Melissa Cassera brilliantly wove the paranormal aspect into this story in a way that is unique to what I've seen before with paranormal and paranormal romances. The storyline feels fresh and new and is not at all predictable. </div><div><br /></div><div>You know the book is good when you get to the end and are eagerly looking to see if if there is a preview of the sequel because you are dying to know what happens next and you are hoping for a clue. <i>Control</i> definitely sets the stage for a really intriguing trilogy and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h2><b>About </b><b><i>Control</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<b><i>For Natalie Covington and Henry Thorne, only one thing is certain: things are about to get out of control.</i></b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">18-year-old Natalie has big ambitions but very little control over her situation. She’s trapped at an elite boarding school on a private island, where cell phones are forbidden, militant guards line the iron gates, and her practically prearranged boyfriend has eyes for another girl. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything changes when a mysterious new student arrives named Henry Thorne. Henry is a “precog”—a hidden society of people who can see the future, and who are forbidden to reveal their powers. When Henry has a grisly vision of Natalie being murdered, he ultimately decides to save her and face the consequences. But the consequences of changing the future are more dangerous than Henry imagined, unlocking a wide conspiracy among his kind that’s linked to Natalie’s past, and a desire that threatens to consume them. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">CONTROL is the first installment in The Lockwood Trilogy. This fast-paced Upper YA/New Adult Paranormal Romance is filled with thrilling turns, self-discovery, spicy language, light steam, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you obsessing for more. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Reader Discretion: this book contains graphic language, violence, and some heat. Best suited for 16+. </span>

<h2><b style="font-size: medium;">5-Star Review:</b></h2><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">This sequel is one that I can't stop thinking about days and even weeks later. It was THAT good! Book one was rollercoaster filled with twists and turns and I didn't think the second one could be as good. Man, was I wrong! It was better and I was surprised by each new twist and did not see them coming. I absolutely was captivated by the new spin on classic mythology. I may, in fact, be going a bit crazy waiting for the third book to find out what happens next. Fair warning, book 2 ends in a massive cliff hanger that will haunt your thoughts in the best way!</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><b>About </b><b><i>The Queen’s Gamble</i></b><b>:</b></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Title: </b><b><i>Control</i></b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Author: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Melissa Cassera </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Genre: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">YA Paranormal Romance</span></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Control</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<b><i>For Natalie Covington and Henry Thorne, only one thing is certain: things are about to get out of control.</i></b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">18-year-old Natalie has big ambitions but very little control over her situation. She’s trapped at an elite boarding school on a private island, where cell phones are forbidden, militant guards line the iron gates, and her practically prearranged boyfriend has eyes for another girl. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything changes when a mysterious new student arrives named Henry Thorne. Henry is a “precog”—a hidden society of people who can see the future, and who are forbidden to reveal their powers. When Henry has a grisly vision of Natalie being murdered, he ultimately decides to save her and face the consequences. But the consequences of changing the future are more dangerous than Henry imagined, unlocking a wide conspiracy among his kind that’s linked to Natalie’s past, and a desire that threatens to consume them. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">CONTROL is the first installment in The Lockwood Trilogy. This fast-paced Upper YA/New Adult Paranormal Romance is filled with thrilling turns, self-discovery, spicy language, light steam, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you obsessing for more. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Reader Discretion: this book contains graphic language, violence, and some heat. Best suited for 16+. </span>

<h2><b>Exclusive Excerpt:</b></h2>
"Don't pull this shit. You know why I locked you morons in that cabin a million years ago? It's because I knew that, when it came down to it, you were meant to be. There is no one in all of Solarem or on the face of Earth or in the Underworld that can bring my brother to life the way you can, same as he's the only person who can possibly have the patience for you. You bring out the best in each other. Your journey together has been long and hard, but it's not over. So don't you dare give up on him. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Because when it came to you, he never gave up. He pushed and pushed and pushed to get you back, so push for him. Fight for him."<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By: Jeff Gunhus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mystery/Thriller/Horror</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When Corbin Stewart, a down-on-his-luck writer living in Paris, witnesses the brutal attack of an old gypsy man, he rushes to help. He chases off the attackers, three albino men wearing porcelain tragedy masks, but not before they stab the old man repeatedly. While Corbin tries to keep the man alive until help arrives, blood gets on his skin, in his eyes, into his mouth. The old man dies, but Corbin soon discovers that death isn't the end for the powerful gypsy, and that the blood in his body carries part of the man's soul with it. Soon, he's dragged into a bizarre world of the T'acho Rasa, an ancient splinter tribe of the Romani that lives secretly in the labyrinth of the catacombs beneath Paris, and the Fantomes de la Nuit, a maniacal group dedicated to stopping them. Corbin finds himself at the center of the blood feud between the two groups, desperate to find a way to destroy them both. If he fails, the T'acho Rasa, seeking revenge for the persecution of the Romani people, will release an unspeakable horror onto the world.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I first came across the synopsis of Gypsy Blood, I was immediately intrigued, but not really sure what to expect. With so many twists listed right in the description, I was curious to see if the story could live up to the hype and still have more surprises in store. Let me tell you, I was not let down.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136);">The style of writing and the type of plot twists reminded me a lot of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series (The DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, etc.). The way that Gunhus describes the Romani community is a nod to a secret society with it's own </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136);">hierarchy, traditions, and governances. But it doesn't stop there. The conflict between the T'acho Rasa and the Gantomes de la Nuit is nothing short of intoxicating. It makes you step back and question who is in the right and who is in the wrong constantly. Through the course of the story, I found myself switching my support back and forth between the groups until the very end. </span><br />
<span style="caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136);"><br /></span>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136);">All in all, it was a fascinating read and I simply was not able to put it down. It is beautifully twisted and keeps you on the edge of your seat right until the last page. Even though it got a little too intense for my taste at some points, I still enjoyed the book.</span>

While the first chapter </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">seemed a bit random at first, as you keep reading you realize just how much </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre;">backstory is contained in those pages. By the time I hit chapter 2, I was hooked and could not put the book down. </span></div>

I was thrilled that at no point in time was I able to predict any future plot points or twists. It kept me guessing through to the end </span></div>

Of course the tease of book 2 at the back of Scars was just enough to make me even more anxious for its release. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hated English at school! Really hated it! I gave up on English Literature in fourth year because I hated writing stories; couldn’t make them up to save my life. I hated writing precis and I was horrendous at grammar.

That opened up the whole facebook author world to me. I started reviewing books (ironic, right?) and then started beta reading (even more ironic) after pointing out some big mistakes in a book plot I was reviewing before release.</span></span></div>

unexpected move to Kelleys Island brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life,
Allie is thrown by his reaction. He doesn’t shrink from her touch. He doesn’t
stutter or make a quick exit. He smiles and welcomes her into his circle of
friends, who aren’t exactly comfortable with Allie, but they seem to get her in
a way most people don’t.</span></i><i><span style="background: white; border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; padding: 0in;"><br />

has a real shot at normal and rides that high right up to her sixteenth
birthday when she wakes in agony—an experience Aidan insists they have all
faced. She struggles in ignorance, uncertain of what is real and what isn’t.
When she emerges, Allie is different. She has always been different, but even
among her extraordinary friends, she and Aidan are special. </span></i><i><span style="background: white; border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; padding: 0in;"><br />

struggles to maintain her tenuous grasp on the power that threatens to
overwhelm her, she worries she will lose herself in this strange new world. A
dangerous world where she will have to fight tooth and nail to defend the power
and freedom that is her birthright. </span></i><i><span style="background: white; border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; padding: 0in;"><br />

<span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">Melissa A. Craven (the "A" stands for Ann—in case you
were wondering) was born near Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Cleveland, Ohio at
the age of seventeen. She still thinks of Cleveland as home, so it was only natural
for Emerge to take place there.</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br />
</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">Today, she is back in
Atlanta—for some reason she can't seem to stay away from the ungodly heat that
makes her long for things like "lake effect snow" and wind that will
knock you flat.</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br />
</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">Melissa decided a long time ago
that the “life checklist” everyone else was clutching so tightly in their
fists, just wasn’t for her. She does everything backwards because she is weird
like that, but then, she is an artist and artists are notoriously
"unique" and "quirky."</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br />
</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">She is an avid student of art
and design, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of West
Georgia in 2009. She worked as an interior designer for several years, but
she's always thought she might like to be a writer when she grows up.</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br />
</span><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #181818; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">In her spare time, if she has
any, she enjoys shopping for derelict furniture she refinishes to exercise the
interior design part of her brain.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Goodreads Synopsis:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">In one month’s time, seventeen-year-old Cara Tillman will die and be reborn from her own ashes…</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Her life of secrecy has never been easy. She’s watched her younger brother, Jeremy, burn and rise again in a coming-of-age process called rebirth. And just like her brother, when her time comes, she won’t remember anything from her first life other than she’s a Phoenix—a member of a small group of people descended from the mythical Phoenix bird.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The last thing she needs to worry about is falling for the new guy in town—Logan Schmidt.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Cara is drawn to Logan in a way she can’t explain, but she’s not exactly complaining. Everything is perfect…except it’s not. Once she’s reborn, she’ll forget Logan. And to make things worse, a Phoenix Hunter is on the loose, and Cara’s involvement with Logan is bringing out her Phoenix qualities—the very qualities that will draw the Hunter right to her.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Desperate times call for desperate measures…</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Afraid of hurting Logan, Cara breaks it off for good. But her attraction to him runs deeper than a typical high school crush. She wants him—needs him. And if he proves willing to stay by her side, their love might destroy them both.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Can Cara hide from the Phoenix Hunters long enough to survive her rebirth? And if so, will it mean a new beginning with Logan—or the beginning of the end?</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4-Star Review:</span></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Ok, so let me start with a confession... I love phoenixes. Seriously, I love everything about them from the symbolism to the mythology to the imagery. So when I heard that Kelly Hashway was writing a series about them, I am not too proud to say that I did a happy dance in front of my computer screen.</span></span> And then I got a copy of the book and did another jubilant jig. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">However in the midst of my celebrating, I had a horrible thought... what if it isn't as good as I think it is going to be? We've experienced that book that we have anxiously waited for, gotten our hands on, and been sorely disappointed by, and never want to relive that experience. So when I was about to crack open the first book in a series about my absolute favorite mythical character, I got nervous and procrastinated... and procrastinated... and said look how pretty the cover is. Until finally, I opened the book with only one eye open, checking to see if it could possibly live up to my dreams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I read the first chapter with only one eye, but then the other eye slowly but surely joined the party. From there, it was difficult to put the book down to accomplish mundane tasks such as work, volunteering, and other household chores. The imagery not only fulfilled my every expectation, but left me in awe as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">With some YA novels, you have to wade through the overwhelming amount of teen angst, but let me tell you... there is no wading through Into the Fire! It is a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Yes, the main characters are teenagers, but they have some maturity and common sense about them which makes following their story not only enjoyable, but addictive!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So it is with great enthusiasm and verve that I suggest picking up a copy of Into the Fire, and allow me to also give you a piece of advice to go along with that suggestion - go ahead and pre-order the second book, Out of the Ashes, which will be released on March 22nd. By the time you finish it, you will be begging for the second book so you can see what happens next. </span><br />

<strong>About BLOOD ON THE BAYOU: </strong><strong><em>A Cafferty & Quinn</em></strong><strong><em> Novella</em></strong>
From New York Times bestseller Heather Graham...
It's winter and a chill has settled over New Orleans, binding a stream of blood that leads a tourist to a dead man, face down in the bayou.
The man has been done in by a vicious beating, so violent that his skull has been crashed in.
It's barely a day before a second victim is found . . . once again so badly thrashed that the water runs red. The city becomes riddled with fear.
An old family friend comes to Danni Cafferty, telling her that he's terrified, he's certain that he's received a message from the Blood Bayou killer--It's your turn to pay, blood on the bayou.
The two quickly become involved, and--as they all begin to realize that a gruesome local history is being repeated--they find themselves in a fight to save not just a friend, but, perhaps, their very own lives.

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Quinn entered the room, he found that Danni had laid a
trail of her clothing from the doorway to the shower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He
smiled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And he followed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The curtain was drawn. Steam filled the bathroom. She stood
in the shower. He couldn’t help thinking that she could have been a mermaid, or
a siren, smiling with the kind of light in her eyes that was sure to drive a
man mad. He allowed his gaze to fall upon her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Did you need a written invitation?” she asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He stripped, stepped into the shower, and drew her into his
arms. Warm water beats pulsated on his skin. The surge of steam was both
relaxing and invigorating, the feel of her body crushing against his
overwhelming. He would never tire of feeling her against him. The wonder in her
eyes always seemed so fresh, her smiles evocative. The taste of her lips part
of a fantasy, and every time he kissed her he felt a rush of arousal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her fingers slid down his back, then moved to his chest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He reached behind her, cupping her buttocks, and lifting her
to him, their every point of contact now an erogenous zone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He kissed her again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This time more passionate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Shampoo in the tub,” she whispered to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The words made no sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Slip, fall, break body parts,” Danni whispered. “Not as
much fun.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now he understood, and he lifted her over the rim of the
tub, following her out quickly himself. Not to lose the moment, he kissed her
again, and they became engaged in twined lips and stroking hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Towel rack,” Quinn said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“What?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Towel rack. Big bruise on the back, maybe your head against
the wall. A concussion. Not as much fun.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">They both laughed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Danni threw open the bedroom door and they made a beeline
for the sheets, shivering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s cold out here,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Quinn landed on the bed at her side. “Not to add more bad
and trite lines to the wonderful foreplay I’ve initiated,” he kissed her
shoulder. “But give me a chance and I’ll warm you up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>About HE WILL BE MY RUIN:</strong>
<strong>The <em>USA TODAY</em> bestselling author of the Ten Tiny Breaths and Burying Water series makes her suspense debut with this sexy, heartpounding story of a young woman determined to find justice after her best friend’s death, a story pulsing with the “intense, hot, emotional” (Colleen Hoover) writing that exhilarates her legions of fans.</strong>
A woman who almost had it all . . .
On the surface, Celine Gonzalez had everything a twenty-eight-year-old woman could want: a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to the prestigious Hollingsworth Institute of Art, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser for a major auction house. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself?
A man who was supposed to be her salvation . . .
Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph in a lock box hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life.
Until he became her ruin.
On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

<strong>Excerpt:</strong>
Michael Quinn heard the hysterical crying the minute he entered the police station. The young woman creating the commotion was inside Detective Jake Larue’s office. Someone else was trying to soothe her while not becoming hysterical herself.
“This one is right up your alley,” Larue told him as he approached.
“My alley?”
“That young woman is certain she saw a <em>rougarou</em>. She was on a bayou tour in Honey Swamp last night.”
He smiled. No kid grew up in Southern Louisiana without hearing about the <em>rougarou</em>. Every region of the world had their own particular brand of monster. The <em>rougarou</em> belonged to the Cajun region of Southern Louisiana, stretching right into the city.
“Honey Swamp?” he asked. “Doesn’t a problem in that area go to the Pearl River police?”
“Yep,” Larue said. “But she’s here because she believes the <em>rougarou</em> followed her home, showing up in the window of her hotel last night.”
He arched a brow at the ridiculousness of the statement. “I’m assuming there’s more.”
“A dead man in the swamp. Head bashed in, throat ripped.”
Which grabbed his attention.
“I want you to talk to them,” Larue said. “I told them that you’re a <em>rougarou</em> expert and that you’ll get to the bottom of things. They were out on some night ghost tour in the bayou and their boat came upon the dead man. Right now, she’s so hysterical that she’s not making sense. But you <em>rougarou</em>experts are used to dealing with that.”
He shook his head at Larue’s sarcasm. He was no more a <em>rougarou</em> expert than someone was a ghost expert. Once upon a time, he’d worked with Larue as partners in the NYPD. Before that, Quinn’s life had been anything but normal. He’d actually been a pretty horrible person, not as in deadly or criminal, but as in vain and egotistical. His prowess in sports had led to excess, which eventually led to him being declared legally dead.
Which changed everything.

<strong>About BLOOD ON THE BAYOU: </strong><strong><em>A Cafferty & Quinn</em></strong><strong><em> Novella</em></strong>
From New York Times bestseller Heather Graham...
It's winter and a chill has settled over New Orleans, binding a stream of blood that leads a tourist to a dead man, face down in the bayou.
The man has been done in by a vicious beating, so violent that his skull has been crashed in.
It's barely a day before a second victim is found . . . once again so badly thrashed that the water runs red. The city becomes riddled with fear.
An old family friend comes to Danni Cafferty, telling her that he's terrified, he's certain that he's received a message from the Blood Bayou killer--It's your turn to pay, blood on the bayou.
The two quickly become involved, and--as they all begin to realize that a gruesome local history is being repeated--they find themselves in a fight to save not just a friend, but, perhaps, their very own lives.

<b>The Uprising Synopsis:</b>
Recovering from a near-fatal gunshot wound, eighteen-year-old Evan Taylor must find a way to stop the Uprising, an underground movement committed to destroying the Union, before her homeland is attacked.
After spending the last four months in the Ruins trying to get back to the only girl he's ever loved, nineteen-year-old Cyrus needs to get past his jealousy over Evan's involvement with Bryce or risk losing her again.
Together, Evan and Cyrus join with their friends to devise a plan to save both the Ruins and the Union, but when the pressure’s on, bickering and infighting threaten to undermine their goals. New information revealing a weakness in the Uprising is uncovered, forcing them to act quickly or risk losing everything.
With the help of old friends and new allies they set out to make history, but it might just take a miracle for everyone to make it out alive.
THE UPRISING is the third book in THE UNION series, a young adult romantic adventure set in the near future.<br />

When not visiting the imaginary worlds inside my head, I live in San Diego, California, with one husband, three children, two cats, and one dog. In addition to my day job as a technical writer and editor, I write young adult fiction. I love the intensity of teen emotions and the way they're still figuring out life. When I'm not writing, you can find me with my nose in a book, hanging out with family and friends, hiking, or knitting. I'm obsessed with Facebook, young adult novels, bad lip reading videos, pumpkin spice lattes, microbrewed beers, and the San Diego Chargers.<br />

Recently, my friend, Randi, and I decided to start a venture together called Romeo & Roo Books. <br />
<br />
Don't worry, Fictional Reality isn't going anywhere. I will still be posting book reviews, promos, and news here regularly. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't follow Romeo & Roo Books. At times, the two blogs will feature the same book, but will typically share different information about it. <br />

Confession... I'm kind of on this huge thriller kick right now. Yes, you read that correctly. I have set aside my dystopians and new adult contemporaries and picked up a slew of chiller thrillers instead. So when I came across Passenger 19, it beaconed to me and I had to see how good it was. Let me tell you, Passenger 19 does not disappoint!<br />
<br />
From the first chapter, Passenger 19 grabs your attention and refuses to let go until the very end. One thing that ruins most thrillers for me is that I can predict the plot lines. It's hard to get a chill from something that you saw coming. Thank goodness that did not happen with this book! It was fast-paced and full of unpredictable twists and turns.<br />
<br />
Sale Alert!!!! For one more day, Passenger 19 is on sale for only 99 cents!!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;">Jammer Davis has spent most of his life investigating aircraft accidents. When a small regional jet disappears over the jungles of Colombia, it is a tragedy like dozens of others he has seen…but for one terrible detail—his young daughter, who was enroute to a semester abroad in South America, is listed on the passenger manifest. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;">A distraught Davis rushes to Bogotá and bulls his way into the inquiry. When the wreckage is located, it becomes clear the crash was unsurvivable. As the investigation gains momentum, the facts go astray. Two pilots had been shot before the crash, along with one passenger. The possibility of a hijacking looms large as the search begins to focus on two passengers who boarded the plane, yet their remains cannot be found. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.4px;">Davis uncovers an even more sinister plot behind the entire disaster—one that goes to the highest levels of the United States government. But how could it possibly involve his daughter?</span></span></div>

Yes, please!I've recently discovered a new trend in the book world and have become intrigued by it. It's this idea of Adult Coloring books. Don't let your head go in the gutter there, I'm not talking about "adult themes" to color. There is nothing dirty about it. It is simply coloring books with more intricate designs that are designed for adults with better motor skills than kids. <br />
<br />
The idea is that by focusing on the designs and color patterns that it can help you release stress, flex your brain muscles, keep you sharp, and keep your fine motor skills exercised. Oh, yeah... and they are fun! I've even seen where some bookstores are having adult coloring parties where you can do a page for free!!<br />
<br />
After hearing a lot of buzz about this trend, I decided to go to the bookstore and buy myself a coloring book. And yes, I felt like a 5-year old asking the associate where the coloring books where. But much to my surprise, the associate walked right past the kids section and took me to art and magazines where there was a bright and colorful sign welcoming me to the Adult Coloring section (I may have heard the angels singing just a bit as I saw it). There are so many different types and themes that you can choose from. There's traditional mandalas, celtic designs, city scapes, and even some with words (bonus!!). After much deliberation, I finally decided on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1574219723/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1574219723&linkCode=as2&tag=fictireali-20&linkId=ZHKAQ2E6AVC42YYL">Creative Coloring Inspirations: Art Activity Pages to Relax and Enjoy!</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=fictireali-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1574219723" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
book.<br />
<br />
And of course, no coloring book is complete without something to color with, right? Thankfully the store I went to had already thought of that and had coloring pencils and markers strategically placed near the coloring books and I got myself the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UUCUCU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001UUCUCU&linkCode=as2&tag=fictireali-20&linkId=MBVRR4VBOVQUSHFY">Pro Art 36-Piece Artist Pencil Set</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=fictireali-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B001UUCUCU" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
set. Yes, I spent a little more on the pencils than I did the actual coloring book, but they'll last longer than the book, right? <br />
<br />
Once I got home with my coloring book and pencils, it was a flashback to childhood as I could not wait to get started on a page. Now I will admit that I gave near painstaking consideration to every color choice at first, but then I finally just let go and had fun with it. I liked how well it turned out that I went to the Dollar Store and picked up a cheap frame to put it in!<br />

Like All Things Beautiful </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Hearts of Haines Book 2)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
By: Shannon McCrimmon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Released: May 2, 2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Synopsis:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this sequel to Kiss Me Hard Before You Go, Evie Barnes is living day-to-day, trying to keep her father's land and his cattle business afloat. She is adjusting to his absence and to living with Finch and the rest of the carnies, which is creating quite a stir amongst the locals in Haines. As Finch and the others learn a new way of life that doesn't involve the carnival, they're dealing with prejudice from almost everyone in town. A string of suspicious incidents occur, prompting all fingers to point the blame at them. Just when Evie and Finch learn to deal with the mountain of obstacles facing them, the unexpected happens, causing them to question if their relationship can survive it all.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Review:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Welcome back to Haines, South Carolina! It's been a little over a year since I first met Evie, Finch, and the whole carnie crew and let me tell you... I have missed them! To read my 5-Star review of Kiss Me Hard Before You Go (Hearts of Haines Book 1), click <a href="http://livinginafictionalreality.blogspot.com/2014/05/kiss-me-hard-before-you-go-5-star-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you thought that you loved Finch before, just wait until you see Farmer Finch who will do anything to make the love of his life happy. He is an all-around good guy that exactly what every girl wants and needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Where Evie was a strong woman in Kiss Me Hard Before You Go, she grows into an even stronger woman in Like All Things Beautiful and we really get to see the extent of her character. She doesn't just make decisions for the heck of it or because they fit her whims. She truly views Katie, Finch and the other carnies as her adopted family. So she always tries to think of what is best for all of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am in love with the Hearts of Haines series for a couple of reasons. First, while Evie and Katie are in their late teens, they don't act like stereotypical teenagers. This means that while they face real life struggles, the story is not filled with annoying teen angst. They face real problems that adults face and are looking for real love, not just a string of flings. Second, it's a love story that you don't have to feel guilty about reading. It's about life and love, not sex. Third, the writing is fantastic! You will be transported back in time to the 1970's with the perfect sprinkling of cultural references that will make you want to toss your skinny jeans and pull out your bellbottoms and platforms!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay tuned for my review of This is Where We Begin. Book 3 in the Hearts of Haines series is Katie's story. I'm reading it now, and I already feel so close to Katie. </div>
